Badgers Hollow Lodge Reviews

The lodge inside was beautiful and the decor lovely, very clean and everything you need couldn't fault it, the hot tub was great the grandchildren loved it. If there was anything that could be improved it would be the outside appearance, a touch of varnish and the decking was in need of a clean around the hot tub area was thick with leaves, I understand it's Autumn but a fresh look outside would benefit the property. Still had a fabulous stay, thankyou

Graham

Once we found the cottage and settled in we had a look around my wife took a video to send to our family she only does this if she likes what she sees, I must admit it was better than I expected. It was clean warm and as we had a long drive we settled in with some food and a wee glass of wine. The cottage has everything u would need for Ur break I would recommend the cottage for your holiday. There's a couple of things that I would like to see improved as published before we booked the WiFi isn't great so that wasn't a surprise but it is poor took my wife and hour to send a twenty second video but as we are of an age where that's not a big deal it wouldn't take away from our enjoyment. And a small thing it took us 40 minutes to find the cottage and we drove past the entrance a few times a wee sign just before that entrance would help.

Michelle

The lodge was fabulous. Cosy and clean and well maintained. Kitchen had ample utensils, pots, pans etc. The 2 bathrooms was ideal fir us as 2 couples. The location is ideal for exploring the lakes. Bus stop right outside the park is perfect. We enjoyed the hot tub for a relaxing evening , however, the jets are not good no power in them and the pump is very loud when using which made us a little conscious of disturbing the neighbours so didnt stay in it for long but still enjoyed our stay.

Helena

We loved the hot tube.

The lodge was ok however the cleaning staff have let you down. I have taken pictures if you require them. I understand the lodge accepts dogs, we took ours, french bulldog. When we arrived we had to sweep the floor, it was full of long black dog hair. We swept up three times, all long black dog hair. There was cobwebs in the bedrooms and kitchen, lots of dust on the skirting board in the bathroom. Black mould around the windows in the bedroom, black mould on the back of the bedroom curtains, the bathroom door in the ensuite is filthy and water damaged, the ensuite drain needs looking at as it overflows. If I wanted to be really picky the blinds need cleaning. Had we known it was park of Park Dean we probably would not have booked as there was just two adults and no children. The restaurant was not very clean, the carpet hadn't been hooved the whole time we were there, 6 nights, we left a night early. The tables were sticky however three members of staff, Malcolm, Connor and Ellie were very nice and helpful. The ladies toilets had no hand soap in them for days, the gentleman's toilets were disgusting. We booked this as a chilled weekend because I have been through a year and a half of chemotherapy and my immune system is compromised, Park dean did not help in any way by being dirty!

Property is in need of some maintenance. Both entry doors have had issues in the past so part of the locks have been cut out, reducing security. Attention to detail on finishing touches. Hot tub made some terrible noises, I would estimate pump issues. It started running during the night waking us up. Cleaning of the property was not acceptable. We found medication, in the form of tablets, under the table, pleased we found this medication before our dog. We will not be booking this lodge again

Thought the property was lovely as just as stated. It was well equipped with more things than I wouldve expected so that was another lovely surprise. We did drop something that went under the sofa and when we pulled it out to get it , it was very dirty under there so thats probably the only downside . Would definitely recommend

We had a fantastic stay the lodge was spotless and clean the hot tub was amazing will deffo be booking again

The lodge was clean in a great location and the hot tub was a great treat after a day out.

Had a lovely week in the lodge. It was very clean, comfortable and cosy and was situated in a nice quiet spot but not far from the leisure complex. It had everything we could need to make it a fantastic holiday. The site is lovely and is a great base to get out and explore. We will definitely be back!

Davina

Absolutely lovely lodge, very clean and relaxing. Hot tub was amazing after the long walks. The couple of problems we had were dealt with straightaway. Also a great location to get out and about with a bus stop right outside. Will definitely be coming back.

Brilliant lodge, everything we needed for a weeks stay. Had one issue that was resolved immediately. Lovely location and very peaceful. On an early morning walk with the dog we met a lovely deer who was just having a quiet walk around the site. Can highly recommend this lodge if you need to recharge your batteries and get away from the hustle and bustle of life.

Louisa

We had problems with the water jets on the hot tub. I reported to the maintenance guy, but he didn't seem bothered. Very disappointing

Shannon

Great lodge and in a perfect location for all local towns. Perfect condition lodge with additional hot tub which was perfectly clean along with the rest of the lodge. Ive already recommended this to our friends and family who will be booking shortly. I love that its pet friendly too and is enclosed for the dogs to wander around the lodge with the assurance that they are safe. Lovely quiet lodge, fully kitted out. A home away from home.

I stayed at this property recently for a week with my parents and partner. Upon arriving it seemed like a nice little lodge and quite homely. However, the property had not been cleaned very well at all. There were pringles under the coffee table. The bathroom was full of dust around the skirting boards as well as behind the basin. There was dust on both headboards of the bed as well as alot of dust, food packaging and the odd biscuit under the sofa. The lights in the living area also had not been dusted. The filter for the fridge was red so had not been changed as well as it being dirty. When having a shower in the ensuite, the water leaked through the shower screen meaning we had to put towels on the floor all around it to try and stop the floor from flooding. The left hand door on the main does was also faulty, meaning it did not lock at the bottom so was not fully secure. We were all looking forward to our stay here as the photos and description sounded just what we wanted, however, we were rather disappointed considering checking in was 4pm so there was plenty of time to sort the property before we arrived. For the money we spent for this property we do feel we are out of pocket as this had alot of potential, yet due to the points above, let it down immensely.

We were more than happy with the lodge, it was very comfortable and safe for the dog. The lovely veranda gave us lots of extra space as we were very lucky with the weather too. Everything was more than we had hoped for, we would recommend this lodge and the site.

What a lovely lodge everything we needed for a weeks stay , so homely and comfortable and the hot tub was a plus our greyhound Hope also enjoyed her stay and we will definitely return but for two weeks because one wasn't enough .

Such a beautiful holiday lodge, very clean and modern, beds extremely comfortable, wonderful location in easy reach all amenities. The Hot tub was such a lovely way to spend a relaxing evening. Thank you for such a wonderful holiday.

Lynsey

In general we had a lovely stay. Disappointing that the hot tub had a fault and we could only use it the first night. We were only informed about this fault when the guy came to clean it on the morning we were leaving as he said it needed a new part. Think we should have been informed of this considering we paid the price for a lodge with the use of a hot tub. Also we found the toilets didn't flush properly. Took ages to drain. In addition the microwave kept cutting out. Think it would have been beneficial to have a guide on how to use appliances etc including the hot tub We did have a lovely stay however and the lodge was in an excellent location. Just found these problems should have been communicated to ourselves.

Richard And Jackie

We stayed at Xmas. On entering cabin it looked lovely. Very welcoming with a tree up. Nice touch. HOWEVER it wasn't clean. We all thought the cleaners relied on us customers cleaning before we vacated for fear of being charged. I am assuming they must of applied a cats lick to the property as it was dirty. Built up dirt. Toilet seat underneath was yellow with wee stains. Mould on the curtains. Accumulated dirty, cobwebs and filth on cupboard tops and behind the beds, under chairs and sofa. The microwave shorted out first time we used it and the hoover.

Eloise

Didnt realise there was any wifi until we were about to leave the property! Luckily was able to meet with the owner on the way out. Explained that there was a power cut through our stay and had to call the maintenance team who came out in 3060 minutes. Seems when too many appliances are being used, the power trips. The rooms get very stuffy and hot in the night. About 1 hour walking distance from Bowness on Windermere which is a nice walk. Great location and the hot tub is 1010. Had the best time thanks to this beautiful accommodation.

Daniel

Lodge was brilliant. Kids loved it and so did me and my partner.

Andrew

Lovely stay at Badgers Hollow, the Lodge was really clean and comfortable, some of the cushions for the outside furniture had some mould spots on them when we took them out to use , this was do to the holding box being broken, but honestly a great lodge to stay and would definitely recommend to all P. S The hot tub is a great addition

Lovely lodge great holiday we would stay again

Kathryn

Shelley

We really enjoyed our short break at badgers Hollow, everything was perfect. The lodge felt like home from home.

Joseph

Second stay, it was every bit as good as the first time. The lodge is first rate. Absolutely no complaints. The only thing that lets it down is white cross bay!

We stayed for our annual weekend away for Christmas & had a fabulous weekend the lodge was extremely comfortable & cosy. Good location with good facilities

Kirsty

Lovely accommodation. Comfy and cosy but also lovely decor. The bed in the 2nd bedroom is too big for the room due to the wooden ends sticking out making it difficult to walk around, also the wifi doesnt stretch from Parkdean so I feel it shouldnt be advertised as free wifi as this isnt the case, but otherwise everything else was perfect. Thank you for allowing us to use.

Cottage was lovely very clean spacious enough for 4 adults and 1 dog however I ... Cottage was lovely very clean spacious enough for 4 adults and 1 dog however I do feel the second bedroom was far to small for the double bed in it was awkward to walk around especially for my 6 foot husband hot tub was amazing n very enjoyable site was very dog friendly n our dog was allowed in all the food areas n welcomed with treats and water which he loved

Anthony

The lodge Badger's Hollow, was spotless, but a couple of issues made it less than perfect. The double bed in the 2nd bedroom was too large for the size of the room, making it difficult to manoeuvre round the bedroom without banging legs or knees on the wooden framework, which protruded around the mattress. Also the wet room drain plug needs clearing out, as it couldn't cope with the water flow, meaning the entire floor was indeed wet like a paddling pool. Apart from that, we had a great stay.

Louise

The lodge was great had everything we needed for a relaxing break.

The Asian Fishing Cat is also well worth a look - these cats are known for diving under the water and catching fish! Other activities include fantastic flying displays and play areas for the little ones...
